I attended Baas Hill SMS 1965 to 1967 . Headmaster was R W “Billy” Bywater. Reflecting on my experiences many years later…I made some good fiends and enjoyed the extra curricular activities. However, the education, standards and culture were poor compared with my previous school in Devon. I believe matters improved considerably when it became a Comprehensive

Good and bad memories of Baas Hill from 1960 – 1964, headmaster Mr. Bywater and Mr. Fiddermen, I always remember our woodwork teacher I think his name was something like Mr idle or something like that, a really nice man, I had really good friends there like Warwick McCredie who was unfortunately killed in Marbella in a road accident in 2007 always my best friend from 1960.
